PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Lord Lyons opinion was that Abraham
Lincoln was, under an exterior that dis
armed casual Judgment one Of the ablest
men and pr0f0undest masters of statecraft
he had met in his long diplomatic career.
A city at the bottom Of the sea was seen
toward the end Of October near Treptow, in
Prussia, when powerful south wind blew
the waters of the Baltic away from the shore,
uncovering a portion of ground usually hid
den from sight by the waves. 1t was the
ruins of the city of Regamuende, once a
flourishing commercial station, which was
swallowed by the sea some five centuries
ago. The unusual spectacle was not enjoyed
but for few hours when the storm slack
ened and the waves returned to cover up the
place which had once been the residence and
field of labor of busy men.

An Educational Exc eminent.

A very interesting and important expert
ment is to begin in the public schools of New
York city this winter. Last fall the Board
of Education determined to introduce manual
training, and in accordance with that deter
mination the experiment is to begin in
twelve grammar schools, six boys and six
girls schools, and in the primary schools
connected with them. Some of the time now
devoted to the study Of the geography Of
parts Of the world commercially unim-
portant, as Oceanica and Africa for in
stance, and to history and other depart
meDts of instruction can be curtailed
to advantage. The manual training will
begin with the smallest children in the
primary schools who will be taught how to
cut paper into simple designs, model clay,
ETC., from designs that they have drawn
themselves In the primary schools will
begin also the course of cooking lessons for
the girls In this course will be included
nearly everything that child can be taught
of cooking 1.-THE materials going to make up
the human body, the chemical constituency
of different foods and their comparative
nutritive values, the process of digestion,
the action of heat upon food and upon water,
different methods of preparing the same
kinds Of food, the value and management of
different kinds of fuel, the different kinds Of
stoves and utensils and their management
and preservation, the study Of yeasts, sugar,
flour, and many other practical lessons in
the economical purchase and use of food.
Lessons in sewing are also begun in the
primary schools. In the grammar schools
the lessons In sewing are to be continued to
include all branches of ornamental work.
dressmaking, etc. The boys in the grammar
schools will gradually be brought up to the
point where they can work at the bench with
simple tools, and at the same time they will
be instructed in mechanics and physics.
About five thousand children will be affected
by the experiment. which will be watched
carefully and reported on by experts selected
by the Board of Education. OF late years
manual training in the schools has been
much talked OF, especially in the west; and
the examples Of the schools Of the Continent
especially OF France, have been often cited
Well conducted experiments In America,
however, are new and will be watched with
interest The report of the New York ex-

Ever since the day when England was
''merrie" the holidays, and especially Christ
mas, have been times of much drinking and
carousal, which, on the poor people, had the
inevitable effect Of getting them into much
trouble, especially with the magistrates.
But the encouraging observation has been
made Of late years that the time-honored,
and in no otherwise honored, custom is grad
ually passing away. Only the other day a
London police magistrate declared that the
numbers of the cases of drunkenness coming
before him on mornings after holidays has
steadily decreased year after year, even in
spite of the increase of population. The
magistrate accounts for this by several expla-
nations. Temperance societies are very
fiourishing, every religious sect encouraging
them. These have increased the number Of
teetotallers and thus materially leavened the
lump of feasting English humanity. The
Education Act of 1870 also has had some in
fiuence in this direction, and the Peabody
and other model artisans dwellings have
increased the number of comfortable homes
and helped to rob the bars of their attrac-
fions

The Thieves, Colony.

The American colony of thieves in Cana
da has received a distinguished acquisition
in the person of Mr.. Frank McNeally whilom
Of Biddeford, recently commorant in Europe,
who after the successful conclusion of his
negotiations with the owners of the proper
ty he has stolen win settle down to life of
Incidence and ease under the protection of
the British lion. In some respects McNeally
is the most adroit thief that has taken up his
residence across the border, and his talents
entitle him to high position in the colony.
If the colony should ever conclude to found
a town McNeafsy ought to be its first mayor.
No member of the colony has stolen so much
with SO little rumpus as McNeally. He SIM
ply went to the safe, filed his pockets with
securities and cash, and then proceeded lei
surely across the border and afterwards to
Europe, where he spent several months In
travel, storing his mind with information
and his trunk with fine clothes. When for
eign travel palled ON his taste and his cash
got low he journeyed back to Halifax, and
from there sent word to the bank officers that
he was ready to negotiate. They were ready
too, apparently. and the negotiations pro-
ceeded. There was a little unpleasant
ness occasioned by his arrest as thief,
but it was soon shown that he was
guilty of nothing worse than breach
of trust" and he was set at liberty, to con-
tinue his negotiations of course decent
people on both sides Of the border are inter-
ested to know why it is that the governments
of the two most enlightened nations on the
face Of the globe continue to harbor and pro-
tect one another's thieves, and how much
longer the practice is to continue Both
questions are hard ones to answer. Minis
ter Phelps some time ago negotiated a trea-
ty with Great Britain covering cases like
McNeally's. but it must be atified by the
United States Senate before it can go into
effect. Unfortunately there are some points
in it which the Senate is not likely to agree
to in their present form, and new negotia-
tions may be necessary which may postpone
the consummation Of treaty indefinitely.

TIE HEADING
[Boston Transcript
The sudderness with which a big strike on
the Reading Railroad Is sprung upon the pub
lie, and the avidity with which the company
seizes upon pretext for a virtual lockout OF
its employees, are calculated to make the pro-
ceeding look very much as II it we're cooked
up for the purpose of further promotion OF
the price of coal.
BECAUSE THE SUGAR PLANTERS ARE DEM
0CRATS.
detroit Tribune1
Why don't the Democrats and their organs
ask for the removal of the duty on sugar.
If there is anything that should go on the
free list which is now dutiable it is sugar.
We import nearly all we use; our sugar in
dustry being merely local. But the President
and his party for some reason are afraid te
tackle this little item.

David Bennett Hills refu sal to write a
letter endorsing Col. Fellows is now inter
preted as piece Of fine political work which
was expected to work wonders for Hills
moribund Presidential boom. Hill expected
that Fellows would be defeated and that
very likely the State ticket would perish
with him. Had these things happened Hill
would have had great chance to pose with
the people as conscientious statesman who
refused to endorse bad candidate, even
after he had been endorsed by the President
and Mayor Hewitt. Unfortunately for Hill
Fellows was elected and now the ColonePs
friends are on top and HilPs Presidential

ESenator Pugh's labored argument that Sc
cession was not treason, and that it was
right for Southern men to follow the call of
their States, has not reconciled the country
to the nomination of Mr.. Lamar. Protest

ing from the West. are pouring in upon the
Republican Senators in such quantities as to
occasion much remark. A large number of
these letters are from old soldiers.

The strike of the Reading miners will
nrobahly furnish pretext for another ad-
vance in coal. Indeed the promptness with
which the company discharged their men in
the face of the knowledge that such action
would precipitate general strike creates a
strong suspicion that they were not ayerse
TO that catastrophe at this time.

undoubtedly they threaten some damage to

NOBLE ANIMALS.
The Undaunted Pluck and DociIity of Arab
and Persian Horses.

The Undaunted Pluck and DociIity of Arab
and Persian Horses.
The general run of Arabs are, no
doubt, first-rate horses, so far as they
90, for military purposes. but they are
too small to mount satisfactoriiy-any
but native cavalry. There are, of course,
exceptional animals which have size
and power enough for any thing, but
they are SO few that that they may be
left out of the general estimate which
we take of the race. For any soldier
whose weight is such that he can be
mounted on an Arab he will be found
the hardest, soundest and most docile
of war horses. He will do an enormous
amount of work on very little and very
indifferent food, and will always bear
himself well and handsomely. In
one point only is he, more than
other horses, susceptible of disease, and
that is his eve, which is liable to cata-
ract. His great characteristic is his UNI
daunted pluck, which is never more
clearly shown than when by any chance
he is i'll, when all veterinary surgeons
will allow that he is Il most admirable
patient, resisting and throwing off the
effects of illness or treatment in a way
that no horse of another race can equal.
Persian horses have always been found
among the most generally useful re-
mounts in India, and they take their
place both in the ranks of cavalry and
in gun teams They have more power
and size than Arabs. with much of the
same constitutional good qualities, and
a matter of great Importance to the
State--they are generally cheaper in
price. BLdcbW0Od'S Magazine.
